How Hurricane Nate Formed and Moved
Hurricane Nate started on September 5, 2005. It formed southwest of Bermuda. At first, it moved very slowly toward the northeast.
The hurricane passed south of Bermuda. After that, it moved into areas of the ocean with colder water. Colder water makes hurricanes lose their strength. Nate then began to get weaker. Later, it joined with a bigger weather system.
Impact and Effects of Hurricane Nate
Hurricane Nate mostly stayed out at sea. Because of this, it did not cause any damage to land. However, the storm did create strong rip currents. These dangerous currents caused one person to die.
Bermuda felt some effects from Nate. The island had light rain and strong, gusty winds. Some Canadian Navy ships were also affected. These ships were carrying important supplies to help people after Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Nate slowed their journey down.
